Chapter 135: Chapter 128: Reincarnation Nightmare

Du Kaili’s pupils suddenly dilated; she was shocked that Zhou Xuan could awaken from her dream. In the past, even the excruciating pain of eye gouging couldn’t awaken her patients from their dreams.

"You... how did you wake up?"

"Dream Playing, we are the true masters."

Zhou Xuan stared at Du Kaili, releasing all his Perception, surging like a tidal wave into Dr. Du’s consciousness.

Du Kaili’s consciousness instinctively resisted, but such resistance was like dozens of pebbles trying to stop the rush of the tide.

In a moment or two, Zhou Xuan’s Perception filled every corner of Du Kaili’s consciousness.

The bed for Dream Generation was set, and Du Kaili’s consciousness was under the control of Zhou Xuan.

Zhou Xuan pondered what kind of dream to construct to destroy Du Kaili’s consciousness.

He shifted the conversation to an odd angle, asking Du Kaili.

"Dr. Du, you must be highly educated to be a doctor at Shande Hospital, right?

To receive such a good education, you must have had a pretty good family background as a child?"

In both Taiping Prefecture and Mingjiang Prefecture, only families with good circumstances could afford to give their children a higher education; otherwise, the children would be sent off to be apprentices at a young age to learn a trade.

Du Kaili numbly nodded her head.

Zhou Xuan asked again, "With such a good family background, you must have had a wonderful childhood, a warm family?"

In his past life as a journalist, Zhou Xuan had encountered many interviews with murderers; he knew that not all utterly wicked people had tragic childhoods. Some even had very happy childhoods with harmonious family relationships.

He wanted to know if Du Kaili was one of those who had a happy childhood.

Du Kaili numbly nodded again.

Having received a positive response, Zhou Xuan had found the weak spot in Du Kaili’s soul, and he laughed covertly,

"Dr. Du, since you like collecting other people’s eyes, I will give you a beautiful dream about eyes and family."

"Snap!"

After the gavel struck, Zhou Xuan began narrating the dream’s induction.

"You are back to your childhood, your parents, grandparents, family members, all appear in your dream..."

Zhou Xuan’s rhythmic voice echoed in Du Kaili’s consciousness.

Dr. Du entered the dream.

She returned to her childhood, during the family’s ancestral worship.

Du Kaili saw her grandmother and grandfather sitting kindly by the dining table, patting her brother’s forehead and rubbing her little head.

She indeed had a warm and happy childhood, even happier than Zhou Xuan could have imagined.

"Grandma, Grandpa."

Du Kaili adored her grandparents, for they were incredibly kind to her.

Whenever her grandfather was free, he would buy her a glass bottle of orange-flavored soda from the street. Fearing her brother would steal a drink, he would hide it in the rice container. When she returned home from private school, he would dig out a bottle of soda from the rice and urge, "Drink up, don’t let your brother snatch it."

Her grandmother always took good care of her.

Du Kaili had shown from early on a paranoid and morbid, abnormal fascination with people’s eyes...

As her grandmother gradually noticed the signs, she didn’t reproach Du Kaili too much, understanding what tormented her, and advised persistently,

"Child, no matter how good others’ eyes are, they belong to them; no matter how bad your eyes are, they are your own, cherish them."

Du Kaili’s family was well-off from her childhood. The reason for her obsession with other people’s eyes was because she was born with a flawed right eye that couldn’t see, and the appearance of its pupil looked like it was covered with a thick film.

Due to this abnormal eye, she was often called a freak, pelted with stones and ridiculed by the kids next door, leading to an increasingly warped psychology and a growing obsession with eyes.

This psychological distortion was not curbed by her grandmother’s advice but was deeply concealed by Du Kaili, more and more grotesquely twisted as she grew...

"Girl, aren’t you going to meet your parents at the door when they come back?"

Her parents also appear in the dream, her father broad-shouldered, always fond of wearing suits, very handsome, her mother beautiful, an eye-catching sight in her cheongsam on the street.

"Sister." Her brother brought a bowl and served a chicken leg for Du Kaili, handing it over.

Even for the well-off family of Du Kaili, in those less developed times, chicken legs were not always available to eat.

For a while,

Du Kaili felt that the dream generated by Zhou Xuan was extremely beautiful, the warm and cozy childhood she had wanted to return to countless times.

To call her a kidnapper of the Four Pillars of Incense, and even vaguely seeing the Incense Leader of the Five Incense, her Incense Fire Level was far above Zhou Xuan’s.

Even with the technique "Dream into Dream," she could not be completely bound in the dream.

Being half in the dream and half awake, she could both feel the dream and spare effort to ponder, why had Zhou Xuan given her such a dream?

"Why did he let me have such a beautiful dream?"

As Du Kaili thought to this point, suddenly, an ominous premonition exploded in her heart.

"No, no... you beast, stop your dream, stop your dream!!"

This bad premonition made the murderous Du Kaili think even Zhou Xuan was a beast...

Zhou Xuan coldly guided Du Kaili: "During the meal, you suddenly notice that your grandfather’s eyes are beautiful like artwork, and your grandmother’s eyes are clear and bright, shining with a spirited luster..."

"Just as I thought! Just as I thought!"

Du Kaili was terrified, guessing what Zhou Xuan was about to do and unable to face what was about to happen, even if it was just in a dream, she could not face it...
